Coz around the outside, with the heart of buttercrunch lettuce in the middle, topped with Everglades tomatoes. Tiny rootstock tomatoes are no bigger than a small marble, but they taste amazing and look great in a salad. No slicing is required—just throw them all in. Even better, these tomatoes don`t require staking because the small fruit doesn`t need support, so you can grow it like a meandering bush. Plus, this variety of tomatoes is easy to grow and has the best disease resistance of any other tomato (that`s why they can be used as rootstock). A tomato berry that pops between the teeth is quickly followed by a traditionally sweet heritage tomato taste... You can`t get better than that!

First beefsteak this spring. Picking on the blush before the birds get it! This will ripen on the bench nicely and still taste amazing (much better than the supermarket varieties) 😉👍
One of the best ways to experience a nation`s cuisine is to take a cooking class to make some traditional dishes. We had a great time in Porto Portugal, creating a three course meal for 12 people. The first was a soup. Caldo verde, which is basically potato and cabbage/kale with sausage. This was served with dense rye bread. The main was baked salted cod with potato topped with cheese. It was quite a process to make, but it was worth the effort! There was also a simple tomato and onion salad dressed in olive oil. The final dish was Bolo de Amêndoa (almond cake) with a glass (or three) of Porto port. Best dessert ever 😁 Our cooking class was organised through @workshopspopup and our outstanding and entertaining chef was @chef_hugoaraujo a fantastic time was had by everyone, and personally I left inspired and looking forward to trying these recipes at home 👍🙂
